ABOUT PATRICK
As a young man Patrick used to hear great tales of the ocean from
an even greater man. This man was his grandfather Lieutenant
Commander Arthur Hopkins of the US Navy. In his final tour at sea
he was Admiral Byrd’s personal physician aboard the USS Philippine
Sea on an expedition to Antartica. The stories about this trip from
equator crossings, freezing temperatures and the unimaginable sea
states made Patrick’s imagination run wild. This inspired Patrick to
join the United States Coast Guard after high school.

years to work in the marine industry. Starting with bottom painting,
scraping barnacles, washing and waxing boats to assistant yard

My thanks to our Denison broker, Patrick Hopkins, for all the help
that he provided in the purchase of our 2006 Cruisers Yachts 385
Motoryacht.

Patrick was instrumental in managing the surveys, sea trials and
bringing together all the tasks that went into our purchase. Then
when we needed help piloting the boat from Barrington RI to
Liberty Landing Marina, Patrick volunteered to captain for us to
make sure our trip was a success.

Even after we dropped off Patrick at Liberty Landing, Patrick made
a number of follow-up calls to check on our progress as we made our
way to our home port of Alexandria Bay in the Thousand Islands.
Should we consider purchasing another boat in the future, we would
certainly work with Patrick as he has proven himself an excellent
broker and an outstanding person.

If meet someone looking for a yacht broker, my first recommendation
would be Patrich as he has not been just a broker for us, but a friend.
